Father and Son Drown at Lake Lanier
Another unfortunate cause of death at Lake Lanier is drowning. In April 2012, authorities reported that Jose Alfredo Benitez, 40, and Carlos Amaya, 14, of Lawrenceville, Ga., perished after an apparent drowning. The teen was said to be struggling to swim across a cove when he called out to his stepfather for help. Both of them drowned during the incident.
